Arkansas TikTok? Could Happen…
Could TikTok ownership be headed to the Natural State? According to industry watchers its not as preposterous as it first sounds.
Walmart CEO Doug McMillon is on experts’ short list of buyers who could make a bid for the social media site’s American assets and it wouldn’t be the first time he’s tried to pull this off. According to USA Today, Walmart has tried twice before to rein in social media’s big fish. In 2020, Walmart entered into two alliances ― one with Microsoft and one with Oracle ― both of which made a bid for the Chinese-based site.
McMillon has also put the schmooze on, hosting ByteDance’s founder in Bentonville, Arkansas in 2023, per The New York Post, which cited sources close to the situation.
